Mercy Hospital St. Louis will address the following community health needs beginning in FY23:- Access to Care- Behavioral Health- Maternal and Child Health- Trauma-Informed CareAll of these needs will be approached through a lens of health equity, with a particular concern with racial disparities in health outcomes in our region. These priorities align with regional priorities identified through the STLPHC:- Address the social determinants of health as root causes of community health- Eliminate the disparities in health and promote health and racial equity- Improve the local public health system to be able to collectively address the needs of the regionMercy Hospital St. Louis is committed to aligning strategic efforts around the four priority areas with the objectives of the STLPHC through participation and engagement with regional action teams, forming in November 2022. Mercy Hospital St. Louis will not formally address two of the identified regional priorities: - Housing: Though MHSL will not directly address housing as a part of the CHNA process, through intentional partnerships with strategic community organizations, MHSL will continue to impact housing needs in the community. MHSL is engaged in the Hospital to Healthy Housing Initiative of the Catholic Charities of St. Louis and supports a Housing Coordinator from the St. Patrick Center to connect unhoused patients who present in the Emergency Department with resources and support. Mercy is also engaged in Project BEACN, and with partner agencies Places for People and the Behavioral Health Network, connects patients with complex care needs with wraparound support, including housing. - Violence: The Violence Prevention Action Team, led by the St. Louis Area Violence Prevention Commission, leads regional efforts to reduce violence, particularly gun-related homicides and nonfatal shooting accidents. While MHSL will not be directly engaged in this work, our commitment to trauma-informed care will support the community in addressing the consequences of interpersonal violence, including gun violence. Mercy Hospital St. Louis & Washington's Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIP), can be accessed here: https://www.mercy.net/forms/community-benefits/. Some notable achievements to addressed the prioritized needs during the 2021 (FY22) year include: Mercy Hospital St. Louis- The Community Health Worker (CHW) program, which was piloted beginning in 2018 and adopted and expanded across Mercy hospitals in 2019, was further integrated into Mercy Hospital St. Louis' Emergency Department through the piloting of a new social needs screening program beginning in December 2020. New workflows were adopted to screen all uninsured/self-pay ED patients for pressing social needs, with referrals then made to one of three (3) CHWs serving the hospital. CHWs serve three primary functions in the Emergency Department: to connect patients in to community resources for social needs, to assist patients with applying for Medicaid, market place insurance, disability or hospital charity care, and to collaborate with Community Referral Coordinators to establish patients with primary care. CHWs also collaborate closely with Patient Access Representatives, the Care Management team and social workers, to ensure continuity of care and improve quality of life. Mercy Hospital St. Louis also hired a CHW to serve the Ferguson community, through integration within Mercy Clinic Ferguson, which opened in July 2021. Prior to the clinic's opening, this co-worker worked to build relationships with local agencies, stakeholders, non-profits and individuals, to dedicate time to COVID-19 education and planning of vaccination events, and to help assess community needs. Once the clinic opened its doors, the CHW continued community engagement and worked collaboratively with clinic staff to connect patients to community resources for social needs; to assist patients with applying for Medicaid, marketplace insurance, disability, or hospital charity care, particularly to remove barriers to accessing the clinic; to support patients in navigating the health care system, including specialty care; to help plan and implement a prescription assistance program, a nutrition support program, holiday outreach programs, and Narcan outreach; and to coordinate community classes at the clinic's education space. In FY22, MHSL CHWs served unique 2,547 patients through 6,433 encounters, reaching nearly 35% of all self-pay patients coming through the ED.- Through partnership with the Integrated Health Network, MHSL's Community Referral Coordinator connects patients from inpatient units and/or the emergency department with a primary care home for follow-up and preventative care. The CRC focuses on serving underinsured and uninsured patients; however, they work with all patients in need of a medical home. In the first half of FY22, the CRC had 844 patient encounters, with 67% of patients maintaining scheduled primary care appointments. - Through partnership with Behavioral Health Network, Mercy Hospital St. Louis supported several behavioral health programs for Emergency Department and inpatients: -Emergency Room Enhancement Project (ERE) and the Youth Emergency Room Enhancement Project (Y-ERE): focus on enhancing support for adult and youth high utilizers of ER with the primary goal of reducing preventable hospital contacts across the region by fostering engagement through support, intensive outreach and improving outcomes through connection to community. In FY22, 282 referrals were made into the ERE and Y-ERE programs, with 77% of patients engaging in care following referral. -Engaging Patients in the Care Coordination Program (EPICC): provides intensive referral and linkage services by Recovery Coaches, peers with lived experience, to impact those who have overdosed on opioids to establish immediate linkages to substance use and medication assisted treatment services. Out of the 110 referrals made to the EPICC program in FY22, 76% of patients were connected to treatment and support for substance use disorder. -Mercy Hospital St. Louis also engaged in Hospital Community Linkages (HCL) Project: focuses on enhancing transitions from hospital inpatient psychiatric care settings to community care at the region's safety-net Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs). In FY22, 140 patients were successfully scheduled for appointments at these CMHCs, and 80% of appointments were kept. -Implementation of the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and co-worker staffing in Mercy's East region. However, since May 2020, 113 referrals were made to DPP, with 17 participants successfully completing the program. Two CHWs were trained in the DPP curriculum in order to support Mercy's diabetes prevention efforts within our underserved populations. -Continuing in collaboration with Generate Health, Mercy Hospital St. Louis served as a partner on the Infant Health Action Team and provided a letter of support for renewed funding and ongoing commitment for Generate Health's Safe Sleep initiative. This initiative is also supported by Barnes Jewish Hospital and SSM Health in decreasing Maternal/Child Health and infant mortality rates by addressing disparities. -Recognizing the ongoing economic hardship, stress and emotional trauma that the COVID-19 pandemic continues to bring to individuals and families and understanding that it is often the most vulnerable that are impacted the most in times of crisis, Mercy continued to engage with community partners in COVID-19. In particular, individuals experiencing homelessness may be at increased risk of infection and complication from the COVID-19 virus. Community Health Leaders across Mercy's hospitals worked with local partner agencies to develop comprehensive plans for safely discharging COVID-19 patients to a designated location if they do not require hospitalization but lack housing. At Mercy Hospital St. Louis, the Community Health Leader collaborated with local social service and homeless serving agencies and healthcare providers in order to successfully enact a plan that aligns local resources with regional protocols. Other community services offered by Mercy Hospital St. Louis during the COVID-19 pandemic include: -Community COVID-19 testing sites -Community-based mass vaccination event in North St. Louis County, in partnership with Southeast Ferguson Community Association (SEFCA) and Riverview Gardens School District -Community education materials and events, focusing on racial inequity(See Part V, Section B continuation) Mercy Hospital Washington Part V, Section B, Line 11: In conjunction with the CHNA, Mercy Hospital East Washington's board adopted an implementation strategy in FY23 related to the 2021 CHNA. Mercy Hospital East Washington will address the following community health needs beginning in FY23:- Housing Instability- Substance Use / Mental Health- Obesity The following needs are not being addressed by Mercy Hospital Washington: - Internet: Mercy will not take a lead role on this issue as there are some limitations to the organization's partnerships in this area as a Catholic Health System. However, partnership discernment will continue to address this issue through collaborative work with local public and private organizations- Transportation: Work with public and private organizations to provide assistance to and from medical appointments.In the category of Physical Environment, MHW has chosen Transportation, under the Access to Care priority. Collaboration with local coalitions addressing homelessness and housing will continue as will Mercy's support of industry, government, non-governmental organizations and the public in addressing air and water quality in our area.Mercy Hospital St. Louis & Washington's Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIP), can be accessed here: https://www.mercy.net/forms/community-benefits/. Some notable achievements to addressed the prioritized needs during the 2021 (FY22) year include: Mercy Hospital Washington -Community Health Worker Program -In FY21, Mercy Hospital Washington's CHW assisted 794 patients through 1,840 unique encounters. 76% of patients were uninsured, and 16% were either on Medicaid or were Medicaid pending. -Mercy Hospital Washington supported several behavioral health programs in partnership with the Behavioral Health Network: -Emergency Room Enhancement Project and the Youth Emergency Room Enhancement Project: focus on enhancing support for adult and youth high utilizers of ER with the primary goal of reducing preventable hospital contacts across the region by fostering engagement through support, intensive outreach and improving outcomes through connection to community -Engaging Patients in the Care Coordination Program (EPICC): provides intensive referral and linkage services by Recovery Coaches, peers with lived experience, to impact those who have overdosed on opioids to establish immediate linkages to substance use and medication assisted treatment services -Recognizing the ongoing economic hardship, stress and emotional trauma that the COVID-19 pandemic brought to individuals and families and understanding that it is often the most vulnerable that are impacted the most in times of crisis, Mercy continued to engage with community partners in COVID-19 response. In particular, individuals experiencing homelessness may be at increased risk of infection and complication from the COVID-19 virus. Community Health Leaders across Mercy's hospitals worked with local partner agencies to develop comprehensive plans for safely discharging COVID-19 patients to a designated location if they do not require hospitalization but lack housing. Mercy Hospital Washington engaged in the Jefferson and Franklin County COVID-19 Homeless Response Taskforce to coordinate efforts around supporting the homeless during the pandemic and worked closely with local partners in the Franklin Homeless Taskforce (HTF). -Mercy Hospital Washington Social Workers continued establishing ED patients with Primary Care Physicians for follow-up care and educating the patient on possibly more affordable options when needing care. -Mercy Hospital Washington facilitated the Winter Warming Overnight Center to prevent those sleeping outside from freezing to death with the American Inn within Washington. -Mercy Hospital Washington, in partnership with the Multi-County Drug Task Force and Franklin County Sheriff's Office, continued training first responders in several counties so that they could begin carrying and utilizing Narcan to revive overdosed patients while waiting for the ambulance to arrive. The local Mercy hospital stored the Narcan in their pharmacyAdditional needs being addressed by the Mercy Hospital St. Louis and Mercy Hospital Washington include: -Violence: Domestic, Elderly, Child Abuse, and TraffickingMHSL - MHSL and Alternatives to Living in Violent Environments (ALIVE), a St. Louis based domestic violence agency, have implemented Project HOPE, the only program in the St. Louis area that allows domestic violence survivors to file for, and potentially have granted, orders of protection while still in a hospital setting. Information regarding ALIVE's programming and services is distributed throughout MHSL, with Spanish translations provided to better reach patients who speak limited English. MHW - MHW works closely with domestic violence, sex trafficking and family services agencies, such as Alternatives to Living in Violent Environments (ALIVE) and local law enforcement to ensure patients are given safe choices while in a hospital setting. Mercy has begun safety awareness and educational campaigns which includes internal training videos, restroom resource posters, and the incorporation of a safety screening/referral question which cues up in each patient's Mercy's Electronic Medical Record (EMR).- Obesity/Poor Nutrition/Physical InactivityMHSL & MHW - Although neither chose healthy lifestyles as a priority community health need to be addressed, Mercy has focused on its own coworkers, 10,000+ in the East Community, as a start to addressing this need. A robust initiative, Mercy's Healthification program, provides comprehensive health evaluation, screening, education, and incentives to increase healthy behaviors and improve health among Mercy coworkers. Mercy Clinic also offers a variety of programs and services to address chronic conditions and a healthy lifestyle.- Chronic Conditions: Heart Disease, Diabetes, or Asthma and AllergiesA significant concern relating to chronic conditions is the disparity in health outcomes and treatment for Blacks/African Americans and Whites/Caucasians. MHSL recently signed an American Hospital Association Health Equity pledge and is beginning to implement "Call to Action" goals aimed at identifying and, subsequently, addressing areas of health disparity and service gaps. As the leader in St Louis County for newborn deliveries, MHSL has decided to take on the significant issue of health equity by beginning with maternal/child health disparities and addressing some of the region's needs with low-birth-weight babies. Mercy has also committed to addressing health equity in the Inner North region community of Wellston; Mercy is outlining a collaborative community plan to address overall health equity with these community members.- Cancers and Tobacco UseMHSL & MHW Community cancer screenings and education continue to be offered regionally. Efforts to address tobacco cessation will continue through Mercy's Certified Health and Wellness Coach/Mercy Road to Freedom program though Mercy's Cardiopulmonary Rehab area.

THE RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES USED WAS BASED ON DETAILED COST ACCOUNT, WHERE AVAILABLE. WHERE COST ACCOUNTING IS NOT AVAILABLE, COST REPORT COST TO CHARGE RATIOS WERE UTILIZED. Part III, Line 3: THE FILING ORGANIZATION DETERMINED THAT THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY IS $0. ALTHOUGH THE CHARITY CARE POLICY REQUIRES THE PARTICIPATION OF THE PATIENT REQUESTING ASSISTANCE, WE HAVE A PROCESS UNDER PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY TO ADDRESS ACCOUNTS FOR PATIENTS WHO DO NOT PROVIDE THE INFORMATION. WE BELIEVE THAT OUR CHARITY POLICY IS COMPREHENSIVE ENOUGH TO CAPTURE ALMOST ALL PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE. Part III, Line 4: THE TEXT OF THE FOOTNOTE THAT IS INCLUDED IN MERCY HEALTH AND SUBSIDIARIES AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT DESCRIBES BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOLLOWS:IN MAY 2014, THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD (FASB) AND INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATE (ASU) 2014-09, REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS (TOPIC 606). THE HEALTH SYSTEM ADOPTED ASU 2014-09 ON JULY 1, 2018 USING A FULL RETROSPECTIVE BASIS. UPON ADOPTION, THE MAJORITY OF WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY CLASSIFIED AS PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AND PRESENTED AS A REDUCTION TO PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE ON THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN NET ASSETS IS TREATED A PRICE CONCESSION THAT REDUCES THE TRANSACTION PRICE, WHICH IS REPORTED AS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. AS SUCH, BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS NOT REFERENCED IN MERCY HEALTH AND SUBSIDIARIES AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS TRACKED FOR FORM 990 REPORTING AS FOLLOWS: PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE THAT ARE DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE, INCLUDING THOSE PLACED WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES, ARE INITIALLY CHARGED AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH COLLECTION POLICIES OF THE HEALTH SYSTEM AND, IN CERTAIN CASES, ARE RECLASSIFIED TO CHARITY CARE IF DEEMED TO OTHERWISE MEET THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S CHARITY CARE POLICY. THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES BASED UPON THE PAYOR COMPOSITION AND AGING OF RECEIVABLES WITH CONSIDERATION OF THE HISTORICAL PAYMENT AND WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY PAYOR CATEGORY. THE RESULTS OF THESE REVIEWS ARE THEN USED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES. AFTER SATISFACTION OF AMOUNTS DUE FROM INSURANCE, THE HEALTH SYSTEM FOLLOWS ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES FOR PLACING PAST-DUE PATIENT BALANCES WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES. Part III, Line 8: IT IS THE POSITION OF MERCY HOSPITALS EAST COMMUNITIES THAT 100% OF ANY SHORT FALL, when applicable, SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THIS AMOUNT REPRESENTS COST OF PROVIDING SERVICES THAT REMAIN UNCOMPENSATED TO THE PROVIDER. THE UNREIMBURSED COSTS OF MEDICARE IS CALCULATED BY THE GROSS CHARGES NET OF THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO LESS ANY PAYMENTS, DEDUCTIONS OR REIMBURSEMENTS USING THE ANNUAL MEDICARE COST REPORT (CMS FORM 2552-96) Part III, Line 9b: MERCY'S COLLECTION POLICY PROVIDES THAT MERCY WILL PERFORM A REASONABLE COMMUNICATION AND/OR REVIEW OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS AS IT RELATES TO ANY SERVICE PROVIDED AT OUR FACILITIES BEFORE TURNING THE ACCOUNT TO BAD DEBT OR TAKING LEGAL ACTION FOR NONPAYMENT. MERCY ACTIVELY SCRUBS ACCOUNTS FOR PAYOR PLAN COVERAGE, INCLUDING MEDICAID. IN THE EVENT AN ACCOUNT IS TURNED TO COLLECTIONS AND IS IDENTIFIED IN NEED OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCE CHANGES, OR IS NOW REQUESTING ASSISTANCE, THE ACCOUNTS ARE RETURNED BY THE AGENCY AND CONSIDERED FOR CHARITY IF THE PATIENT PROVIDES THE REQUESTED INFORMATION. IF THE PATIENT FAILS TO RETURN THE INFORMATION, THE ACCOUNT WILL QUALIFY FOR COLLECTIONS. MERCY UTILIZES THE EXPERIAN TOOL TO ENHANCE THE ABILITY TO DETERMINE THE CHARITY QUALIFICATION PRIOR TO TURNING TO BAD DEBT, A PROCESS KNOWN AS PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY FOR ALL COMMUNITIES EXCEPT JOPLIN, MAUDE NORTON, CARTHAGE AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS. THIS PRESUMPTIVE SCREENING PROCESS DETAILS EVALUATIONS THAT TAKE PLACE PRIOR TO PATIENT BILLING AND ADDITIOANLLY PRIOT TO BAD DEBT PLACEMENT. THE PRESUMPTIVE SCREENING WAS PER ENCOUNTER AND DID NOT PROMOTE ANY LOOK-BACK ADJUSTMENTS.MERCY WILL GRANT CHARITY IN SITUATIONS WHERE THERE HAS BEEN AN INABILITY TO OBTAIN INFORMATION FROM PATIENTS OR THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IS NOT COMPLETE ENOUGH TO MAKE A CHARITY DETERMINATION WHEN A PATIENT HAS SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION. MERCY WILL PURSUE APPROPRIATE MEANS IN THE COLLECTION OF DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS FROM PATIENTS WITH AN ESTABLISHED ABILITY TO PAY OR AN UNWILLINGNESS TO COOPERATE IN VALIDATING ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THESE APPROPRIATE MEANS MAY INCLUDE LEGAL ACTION CONSISTENT WITH MERCY MISSION AND VALUES AFTER SENDING 3 MONTHLY STATEMENTS WITH THE FINAL INCLUDING NOTIFICATION; IF NO RESOLUTION THEY WILL BE TURNED TO COLLECTIONS. ADDITIONALLY, THEY MAY INCLUDE LIENS UPON REAL PROPERTY AND REASONABLE WAGE GARNISHMENTS. LEGAL ACTIONS WILL GENERALLY NOT INCLUDE BANK GARNISHMENTS, REPOSSESSION OF ASSETS OR FORECLOSURES TO ENSURE SATISFACTION OF A LIEN. MERCY HAS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ESTABLISHED TO ADDRESS THE INITIATION OF LEGAL ACTION AND ANNUALLY REVIEW COMPLIANCE WITH POLICIES BUT ENSURE 120 DAYS OF BILLING AND COLLECTIONS OCCUR PRIOR TO ANY EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTIONS ARE PURSUED.

COVID-19 Early in 2020, the Mercy Health System was called to serve as the COVID-19 pandemic swept across the world. During FY 2022, the impact of COVID-19 and inflation has been and still is significant to our communities with changes in patient care revenues due to surges, increasing the costs of salaries and agency labor, and supply chain impacts. All Mercy facilities adjusted operations for the impacts of the pandemic. In addition, Mercy foundations and outreach ministries experienced limitations in fundraising for program and capital support efforts that assist the underserved in our communities. Mercy did receive funding from the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"). Mercy received CARES Act funding for the past three years across various entities and recognized a portion of this funding in other operating revenue. These funds helped to offset revenue losses and additional expenses incurred due to the pandemic; however, these funds fell short of the system losses experienced since the start of the pandemic. Mercy continues to monitor the impacts of the pandemic both to the health system and the communities served as we continue to provide assistance and maintain access to care within our communities.
